When the English conquered the Punjab the
Sikhs who composed Runieet Singhs army en-
listed freely in the newly raised British Tegi-

the Bengal army in which there are not one or
more companies of these men. They are gifted
with all the qualities which go to make q good
soldier. Physically, they are very fine fellows,
fully five feet eight inches, with chest of SO
inches. They are brave and wonderfully en-
during very abstemiOus in their Diet seldom
touching meat and living principally on un-
leavened bread, with little clarified butter,
and occasionally little coarse sugar or no-
lasses. They are splendid walkers, and when
going to their homes on leave will often aver

"Greater love hath no man than this"
Not plumed birds of poets song,
That trill their notes the whole night long;
The Nightingaes that I'D sing of
Are those engaged in works of love
In works of love for friend and foe;
Thou might'st have seen them long ago
When, laboring hard from day to day,
They toiled among the blue and gray.
With loving word and tender hand,
The wounded limb, with linten band.
Was gently bound, with many prayer
That God would take them to his care;
Blest scores of dying beds did they.
Took half the sting of death" away.
And then To- friends at home. bereft,
Sent latest words the dying leit-
Zen to the prison pens they went,
And there. like "ministering angels sent,
Mid filth and squalor and disease,
Were found each day on Bonded knees,
Washing the horrid putrid wound
or half starved mor,al5 on the ground;
Held up before expiring eyes
The Cross, and pointed to the skies.
And when at last their strength was spent,
With shattered nerves and fair forms bent,
This prayer did to Heaven ascend.
"Oh, Father, help me to the end!"
Mark well the sacrifice they gave
Mark well their recompense-the grave;
For greater love hath none to give
Than life laid down that some might live.
But when the last grand bugle call
Shall sound the reveille for ALL
Close up around the Great White Throne
These will be mustered as Gods own"
oh, ye who in your sister band
Have promised this same helping hand,
We who have charity for q creed,
BE Florence Nightingales, indeed.
